Apr 19, A flash of violet light, loud boom, and pig squeal later, Dudley was dancing on the spot with his hands clasped over his fat bottom, howling in pain. When he turned around, Harry could see the curly pig's tail poking a hole through the back of his pants. Pulling Aunt Petunia and Dudley into the other room, he cast one last terrified look at Hagrid and slammed the door behind them. Meant ter turn him into a pig, but I suppose he was so much like a pig anyway there wasn't much left ter do.

I was allowed ter do a bit ter follow yeh an' get yer letters to yeh an' stuff - one o' the reasons I was so keen ter take on the job -". Gotta get up ter town, get al yer books and all that. Harry woke early the next morning. Although he could tell it was daylight, he kept his eyes shut tight. It was a dream, he told himself firmly. I dreamt I was back to when Hagrid came to tell me I was going to a Hogwarts.

When I open my eyes I'll be at home with Ginny. And there's Hedwig Jr. The hut was full of sunlight, the storm was over, Hagrid himself was asleep on the collapsed sofa and there was an owl rapping its claw on the window, a newspaper held in its beak. It hadn't been a dream after all. He quickly paid the owl and handed the Daily Prophet to Hagrid. He then listened patiently as the half-giant explained to him about Gringotts.

Then they got into the Dursley's boat and headed off towards London and Diagon Alley. Leaving the Dursley's to fend for themselves. Realized Harry with malicious glee. He knew they'd get home before he would and besides, it really served them right. All too soon they were in the Leaky Cauldron. As before, everyone was very eager to shake his hand.

Harry briefly wondered how he could stand touching him, but realized he must not have been possessed yet. Probably wouldn't be until he failed to secure the stone. He also wondered why in the world he felt the need to stutter the whole year. He could appear perfectly innocent especially compared to the likes of Severus Snape just fine without it, and quite frankly it was annoying. Besides, according to Snape's memory, Dumbledore had been onto Quirrell from the beginning.

He supposed that Hagrid neglected to mention that this was Quirrell's first year teaching so as not to freak him out with the DADA job curse. He decided to bring that up. I've g-got to p-pick up a new b-book on vampires, m-myself. Harry marveled when he thought about the fact that this was the very first person he could remember trying to kill him.

See a Problem?

The other patrons of the bar quickly interrupted and it took nearly ten minutes for Hagrid to extricate Harry from his throng of admirers. Things progressed pretty much the same from then on, until it was time to go to Madam Malkin's to get his uniform. When Harry went inside, he froze. He'd almost forgotten about his first meeting with Draco Malfoy, here before either of them knew anything about the path that was chosen for the other. Because they were archrivals. Before he found out that Draco, though undoubtedly unpleasant, wasn't evil and had more-or-less redeemed himself.

He had the same bored, drawling voice at eleven as he did at twenty-three. After that I'm going to drag them off to look at racing brooms. I don't see why first-years can't have their own. I think I'll bully father into getting me one and I'll smuggle it in somehow. Of course, you'd have to claim it belonged to an older student if anyone asked, but that shouldn't be too difficult," Harry suggested.

Draco looked at Harry approvingly. I'd have to learn how to unshrink things, but until then I could get an older student to do that, as well. Say, have you got your own broom? Father says it's a crime if I'm not picked to play for my house, and I must say, I agree. Know what house you'll be in yet? I'm going to be in Slytherin, all our family has been there-". I mean, Hufflepuff sounds like a brand of marshmallows or pillows or something. This time he knew he wasn't imagining it. Draco Malfoy, fighting a smile because of something he, Harry Potter, had said.

He never thought he'd see the day! This actually was sort of fun. Why weren't they friends again? Maybe not a profound difference, but it'd definitely something that any Manor Lord should know," Harry said, knowing full well that Draco would inherit Malfoy Manor someday.
